Amazon is buying MGM Studios, home of James Bond. The nearly $8.5 billion deal, announced Wednesday, gives the e-commerce titan a massive film and TV library. MGM is one of the most iconic movie studios in history. It’s library catalog includes classics like “The Wizard of Oz,” “Rocky,” and “Legally Blonde.”
This comes as Amazon is facing another antitrust lawsuit. Washington, D.C., accuses the company of illegally controlling online retail prices, saying its business practices harm competition. Amazon has been facing a slew of antitrust bills. Sen. Josh Hawley introduced two antitrust bills taking aim at Big Tech platforms earlier this year.
